A Tale of Irish Eyictions.

In a reference to evictions in Ireland
the London correspondent OF the New
York Sun says: No blood-and- thun-
der writer chronicling acts OF savay e
atrocity originating in his own brain
ever invented scenes of much greater
horror than those which have accom-
panied the evictions at Glen beigh. The
burning of cottages over the heads OF
women and children; farmers wife.
soon to become n mother, dragged
from her bed and laid fainting upon
the ground, while policemen load their
rifles around her; a mother vainly
begging shelter for dying infant in a
hut from which she had been torn,
and then seeking TO protect her babe
from the cold by covering it with
straw in a pig-sty-such arethe scenes
watch accompanied one landlords e.
iorts to extort his impossible rents,
and such are the items daily added
to the score which Irishmen have to
wipe out. 1t is for his desire to free a
great empire from scenes like these
that Gladstone is assailed as the
enemy of his country's greatness and
unity. In the case of the woman to
whom shelter was refused for her
ehild. it is positively exhilarating to
near OF a buxom young Irish woman
who used her muscle and shovel and
knocked down bailiff who was nail
ing up door. She was arrested, ot
course, but as she was being escorted
off by the policemen with rifles there
was rush from her friends and shs
was rescued. Columns could be filled
with details of absolutely incompre
henslble brutality on the part o
landlords agents, and each would ado
to the satisfaction felt by every mar

Frederick Douglass and Theo-
dore Triton in Paris.

London Letter.
Fred. Douglass and his wife have
been in Paris this winter-for that
matter may be there still-and have
received much polite attention from
A section OF the American colony
there. Douglass and Theodore Tilton
had been friends in the old days, and
naturally they went about a good
deal together now that they were met
again. The two heavy, large-featnred,
distinguished looking men, with their
massive heads OF white hair, attracted
very general notice on the bouleyards-
One day they dined together at a
-estaurant and talked together for a
onn time. A Frenchman sat near and
watched them attentlvely. A day or
two afterward Mr.. Tilton came alone
10 this cafe. The Frenchman. after
some hesitation, approached him and
politely asked permission to put a
question. Mr.. TlIton said, Certainly,
il you will speak siowly,tor my French
is still very imperfect" Then the
stranger said: "When | saw you and
your brother together here, although l
could OF course, understand nothing
that you said, made up my mind,
| from the refined modulation OF your
voices, that you must both be ora
tors. / should like to ask If in England
it is usual to have two brothers so
equally gifted and experienced in pub
lie speaking"
Mr.. Tiltonis passing now, he tells his
friends, the most peaceful and content
ed years OF his lie. 1t is three years
| since he domiciled himselfin Paris, and
he will probably end his days there. He
las a floor in a grand old mansion,
once the home of the Dues de Menu
ours. an ancient building on the lie de
Paris, back OF Notre Dame, IN the
We heart OF historic associations
Here he spends much OF mis- time, writ
ing. reading, living happily within
himself. For the rest, he is free to
line wherever his vagrant fancy dc
sates. to find eompanionship wherever
ne chooses. / fancy that no dreams oil
ame or of especial achievement
come now to Mr.. Tilton. The work
now upon which he is engaged Is I'M
ierstood TO be ephemeral in eharac-
ter-done as much for the sake OF oe-
,upation and mental relief as any
shing else. His chief interest Is to like
MS lie and to keepit smooth, nnevent-
;ul, restful, within the compass OF SIM
| pie desires and pleasant associations
